Marlin 795 opinions

So I'm in Wal Mart last night and for some reason a little 22 grabs my eye, turns out its a Marlin 795 for $135.00. I'm in the market for a 22 since I've been borrowing my dad's model 80 for some time now. I liked it for a number of reasons. Marlin rifles have a good reputation, it was smaller and light so it could be carried all day and my wife will shoot it, the model 80 is a bit heavy for her. The low price is nice too.
My concern is that semi auto 22s aren't know for their accuracy. I'm not trying to bench rest with the thing but I would like something accuate to 75-100 yards. Anyone have any experience with one of these?

Took it home and took it down for a clean- very clean.
Went to the range and shot 10 rounds at the berm to get it cycling.
Sat down on a bench, rested my hand on the table and fired 3 shots- all within a dime at 75 ft! Blew through 250 rounds that afternoon playing, what fun!!!
